Northern Heritage has agreed to release official re-releases of WARLOGHE "First possession" and "womb of pestilence" CD's. It is important to notice that the digipak sold on various auctions and possibly in some mailorders is BOOTLEG. Official re-pressings will be in jewelbox, and nearly identical for original CD's (only NH logo included). We urge all distributors to boycott the labels responsible for the bootleg and not taking it for sale. Official versions should be available soon.

What, are they surprised somebody bootlegged that album or something? I'd say based on demand and prices that thousands of people want it. 1,000 copies of the CD and 333 copies of the LP... what did he expect? The bootleg is of quality and is being sold cheaply...
I have even heard of members of Warloghe selling the LPs on ebay and cashing in, so...personally I have no sympathy.

Don't you think there is a difference between one band member selling one copy of his LP on auction (which means he didn't hoard them to begin with to cash in later), and somebody who has no connection whatsoever with the band selling a bootleg? Yeah, it may be nice, but we all know how much it costs to press a digipack so we all know this guy is making a ton of money, probably already earned more on the back of warloghe than the bandmembers ever made of the band.

A digipak version of "The First Possession" is circulating around.
Those who got that bootleg are retards to have spend that amount of money.

£12 inc postage? Madness!

Tyrannos sold numerous copies. Why put them on ebay rather than sell them directly to fans a t a reasonable price? I wonder...

Come to think of it,metal is all about money now.People know that some stuff are limited,they would buy a few copies,one for themselves and the rest to be put on eBay.Black Metal has been becoming like a stock market in recent years.

The guy got paid for his album with copies of that album- so why wouldn't he sell a few on ebay or wherever to actually see a financial reward for his musical endevour- it's not him who puts them on such a collectors pedestal- it's the people buying the records.

As for the bootleg thing- seriously these people need shooting. Irrespective of whether a record is out of print, rare, or whatever, it's not hard for someone to track down the band members or label to try and put it out 'officially'- I mean the band will most likely accept cds/lps for the deal. It's a question of respect.

When I made the mistake of buying that 'First Possession' piece of shit back in the day, I couldn't fucking give it away it was so insanely generic and lame. Nice Skate Punk snare there they got on that album. I can't believe nonsense like this gets reissued when shit like the whole Saint Vitus catalogue has been out of print for over a decade or more.

Warloghe has one of the stranger situations I have seen in metal...it's like they are these underground legends, but I have only ever seen one review of them, and it was of Womb of Pestilence. People are paying 200 plus dollars for their vinyl and CDs, and yet I have never even heard a person say that they like the band.
I have this bootleg and it is okay, but nothing special at all, certainly doesn't warrant it's status whatsover. Anybody care to shed some light on this weird shit? Somebody tell me why Warloghe is awesome! Or why they suck! Either one...
